leonard kreusch of germany

A value oriented wine from Germany...
Twisted River Dornfelder. german red wines are not well known but they do exist..most stay in germany.. this had a slight tinny mineral nose associated with cool climate wines...off dry on the palate but not sweet...nice red fruits..

Twisted River Riesling 2007 halb-trocken or half dry...some diesel, mineral granny smith apple, quick finish.

johanisberger riesling from rheingau in traditional brown bottle...2005 dark golden in the glass and an off nose of petrol leaning toward turpentine or pine resin... very offputting to me

Estate Riesling Mosel 2007 best of the bunch.. clean , crisp fruit, light mineral nice length of finish.

blue bottle riesling..2007 not much of a nose to it... red apples and quick finish...not much there there.

twisted river late harvest riesling 2007 strong petrol or slate nose, not much early fruit, strong mid palate and light finish...
